A Rose for My Mother - A Memoir (Hardcover)

In this extraordinary true story, parapsychology expert Nancy Lee
Canfield reveals how her early years shaped and prepared her for a
lifetime of studying the paranormal. A Rose for My Mother
chronicles Canfield's turbulent childhood in and out of foster
homes and orphanages before the age of thirteen, her early marriage
at seventeen, and her awakening to paranormal phenomena. A Rose for
My Mother is an intriguing blend of memoir and the study of
parapsychology. "Learning only occurs in response to challenges,
and Nancy has written an absorbing account of how, in her case,
overcoming incredible challenges has led to the emergence of a
higher intelligence. It is not only a tale of triumph over
adversity, but of the certainty of rescue from hopelessness."
Edward Green, PhD, Emeritus, Guerry Professor of Psychology
"Against the backdrop of her family's heartbreaking difficulties
during the Great Depression, this story begins with a little girl
who tries valiantly to understand the meaning of grown-ups' rather
confusing words and silences. Her intuitive successes told the
adults that she managed well and was self-confident, but they left
her feeling isolated and unloved. Does everyone have higher sensory
perception? Nancy shows us that with focused work and discipline,
we can nurture that infant part of us so that it can help us enjoy
life to the fullest." Dr. Joan Ashkin, EdD, LCSW, RN
